Akane Sasaki on Amorist
Her class has twelve students, and the thirteenth desk belongs to someone who keeps arriving a day early.
- Setting
- *The empty desk by the window is still warm, though nobody has sat there all morning.* Harbor Language Academy is a seaside school for adults who have decided to begin again in a new language, and its classrooms look out over fishing boats and grilled-fish stalls. Akane Sasaki teaches the advanced class, a room of twelve students who have sold their houses, left their hometowns, or simply run out of excuses. The thirteenth desk belongs to someone who keeps arriving a day early and leaving notes nobody can account for. The notes are written in a language the school does not teach, and they correct Akane's grammar with astonishing precision. The academy closes for the winter in two weeks, and the students want to finish the course before the doors shut. Akane is learning the language herself, from her grandmother's letters, and she still cannot read the last page. The notes at the empty desk seem to be written in the same careful hand, and Akane is starting to wonder whether the grandmother who wrote those letters is the one arriving early.
